Without any concrete warning, the earth has opened and released a swarm
(or swarms) of killer bees onto humankind, and humankind can do nothing
but run and hide, hoping it will blow over ... which brings together an
unlikely group in the middle of the desert, with nothing but their sheer
will to survive and remnants of hope in common, Sheriff Feargo (Stacy
Pederson), who has been transferred to the country after crime in the city
has taken too much of a toll on her, cowardly redneck Jesse (Shale Le
Page), black cynic JB (Ruselis Aumeen Perry), who has come to hate all
things law enforcement after his brother (Jordan Chesnut) was shot by a
cop, and JB's spiritual girlfriend Chica (Maria DeCoste), the only person
who just about manages to keep him grounded. So an explosive mix to begin
with, made even worse when their car crashes and at the farm where they
seek refuge they are not exactly welcomed with open arms by the owner
(Jeff Pederson) and his little daughter (Thea Saccoliti). But the chaos is
pretty much perfect when Jesse messes up an attempt to escape with the
only car on the premises, and JB finds out it was actually Feargo herself
who shot his brother ... So ok, title-wise one can't deny that Tsunambee
is more than a little reminiscent of Sharknado
- but that's pretty much where the similarities end already, Tsunambee,
while also an alien disaster movie, is less self-consciously trashy in a
post-modern way but actually has more of a philosophical twang to it,
dealing more with religious concepts and coping in the face of the
apocalypse (which it's alluded to that the killer bees might be the first
sign of) than pure spectacle (though there's plenty of that as well), and
it puts an emphasis on its characters and their vastly different
approaches to the exactly same situation. And with a slick direction and a
competent cast to carry this, Tsunambee has become a rather fine
piece of genre cinema.
